Shrien Dewani, the British Indian man suspected of ordering a hit on his Swedish Indian wife Anni while on their honeymoon in South Africa, has shot down rumors (through his publicist) that he’s gay, which might explain why he wanted his wife out of the way. But now a German escort has come forward, claiming Shrien paid him for sex.

The 39-year-old escort says he recognized Shrien from news reports, so he contacted the Metropolitan Police and claimed the accused murderer paid one thousand pounds for “kinky” sex sessions between September 2009 and April 2010 in Britain. (Counters Shrien’s publicist Max Clifford, who’s never told a lie in his life, “Shrien Dewani has never had a sexual relationship with a man in his life.”)

The claim certainly does damage to Shrien’s story about how he and his wife were carjacked last month in Cape Town, where he was freed and she was taken and killed. Their driver, already on the hook for the murder, already insisted Shrien paid him fourteen hundred pounds for the hit. This is starting to sound like a very expensive way to live criminally.
